Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble CD4 and CD4-mimetic compounds inhibit HIV-1 infection by induction of a short-lived activated state.

TL;DR: The ability of soluble CD4 mimics to inactivate HIV-1 by prematurely triggering active but transient intermediate states of the envelope glycoproteins is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subunit organization of the membrane-bound HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein trimer

TL;DR: An ~11-Å cryo-EM structure of the trimeric HIV-1 Env precursor in its unliganded state is described, which consists of a cage-like structure with an interior void surrounding the trimer axis and restricts antibody access.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of Intrinsic Reactivity of the HIV-1 Envelope Glycoproteins to CD4-Independent Infection and Global Inhibitor Sensitivity

TL;DR: Quantitative differences in intrinsic reactivity contribute to HIV-1 strain variability in global susceptibility to neutralization and explain the long-observed relationship between increased inhibitor sensitivity and decreased entry requirements for target cell CD4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteolytic Processing of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Envelope Glycoprotein Precursor Decreases Conformational Flexibility

TL;DR: Apparently, proteolytic processing of the HIV-1 Env precursor decreases conformational flexibility of the Env trimeric complex, differentially affecting the integrity/accessibility of epitopes for neutralizing and nonneutralizing antibodies.
